Git Stats

Analyze any local git repository for contributor rankings, LOC by language, commit activity patterns, and monthly trends.

Quick Start

# Analyze current repo
python3 scripts/git_stats.py

# Analyze a specific repo
python3 scripts/git_stats.py /path/to/repo

# JSON output for further processing
python3 scripts/git_stats.py --json

# Filter by date range
python3 scripts/git_stats.py --since 2025-01-01 --until 2025-12-31

# Specific branch
python3 scripts/git_stats.py --branch main

# Skip LOC counting for faster results
python3 scripts/git_stats.py --no-loc
